Question: Multi-user configuration with different game/app sets possible? #39

Open porg opened 3 years ago

porg commented 3 years ago

Scenario: Multiple users on a Pandora

Not everybody wants to see the same game set (different interests/tastes)
Not everybody shall be able to see/launch the same games (kid-friendly games)

Is it possible to create multiple users or gamesets?

In order to achieve this feature I had this in mind

The apps & roms exists only at one place on the SD card
I create different Linux users
I duplicate the Pandafe config file(s) to each linux users home directory
- I modify the config files in a way that the other users only get a subset of the maximum Pandafe profile

Open questions

AFAIR the appdata is on the SD card, so the PND system is not really considered for multi-user setups
But maybe it is possible by a design-standard or by a hack that a PND app uses appdata specific to the current Linux user.
